Thread: Automatic rebooting of router at 2 AM and 8 AM

well kixxi i used macro recorder... all things are fine.. but the thing is when it comes entering login id n password.. tht time it doesnt work... i mean doesnt type what i recorded my login n password.. so further error comes... but just amazing software..


now wht to do?? am still standing helpless.

The macro recorder would have created a script for you. Edit it. I am not an expert at AutoHotKey - so I can only help on a limited basis.

well i got jitbit macro recorder.. if u know that.. i mean if u r expert in it.. than can u plz make me configure.??

whatever way... i just want to make it happen..auto reebooting modem every night..

Even with that software it will be hard to schedule all that.

I would say, don't use any software or programs for this. If that program didn't work, you will end up with a huge bill.

point is correct archer.. i am flexible in all terms.. if all this is practically hard in poppe mode than i can change to bridge mode if the problem are less.. any software or anything,, i just need a proper automation for it.. i am trying this since almost a month.. researching it.. but still not found anything possible,,

It will be certainly easier in bridge than in pppoe mode.

well then should i start asking how to convert my connection from poppe to bridge mode? or make a new thread? and what r u waiting for? tell me how to covert lol :lol:

I changed my connection to Bridge mode just now. It seems faster than pppoe mode. I can only tell you how to do it in ut300r2u modem.

I have never got this much speed in pppoe mode.

see my download speed... sadly my upload speed is less. wonder y...

That's weird. The upload speed is really low. Are you still going for Bridge mode ?
I am going to change to 500 C+ plan soon. So even I am interested in this.

i m in poppe mode..right now.. wanna go to bridge mode.. but i dont know how...

see i checked the speed test again..
upload is very less.. i guess..

You should start a new thread for this in the BSNL section.
For the first time I saw this icon in Utorrent after switching to bridge mode.

no right now i m in poppe mode.. still tht port forwarded icon is alright........green tick..


and i am using modem ZXDSL 531B .. bsnl ppl provided it,

sometimes this happens. utorrent port stays blocked.
try changing the port from option menu. after a few changes, it generally becomes open.

My utorrent ports are open. The connection is in Bridge mode now. Everything is working fine. Even though the speed didn't change much. The downloads are for some reason faster than before. I am loving Bridge mode.

HI
the script and the .exe file i made using AutoHotKey run fine when i double click it.
Problem is that they dont run in the scheduled tasks.
What could be wrong?

i am the only user of my pc and hence dont have any pass to log on... also its obvious my profile is that of the admins.. so i dnt understand wht could b wrong....

helpsssssssssssss

Some has the script for linux? I use opensuse 10.3

Hello Everyone,

I know this is a much searched and discussed topic in these forums. However I would like to present an improved autohotkey code that overcomes the shortcomings of the previous ones.

Prvious methods: (search in forum)
1. Using TST.exe like here --(triband-nu-solution-automated-router-reboot)
2. Using AutohotKey like here -- (automatic-rebooting-router-2-am-8-am)

The problem with the above two methods :
1) The Telnet Scripting Tool waits for characters before sending the next command. Sometimes it gets struck here.
2) In the AHK method, The send/sendkey commands send the string inputs only to the currently active window. Hence if the telnet window is not the current window (topmost) or if you have locked your desktop, the inputs are not sent to telnet window and hence the script is not executed.
3) Further any input from the keybord/mouse while the autohotkey script is running interferes with the command being sent to telnet window and may screw up the automation.
4) Also when you reboot the modem in addition to internet the existing LAN connections are also broken.
So as an improvement that takes care of these problems I present here an autohotkey script.This is by far the most failsafe method. It does not wait for characters to appear like the TST.exe method nor does one have to worry about the telnet being the active window(so u can lock ur desktop too) and of course you dont need to reboot the modem(which takes time, disconnects LAN and may be injurious to ur modem )

I have UTStarcom WA3002G4 modem with BSNL connection.So I will illustrate using this.

Note that
1.the words in bold are particular to your case. first admin is username , 2nd is password.
2.between the commands blockinput on and blockinput off, u will not be able to move your mouse from a brief time (<500msec)
3.Always try to use only the disconnect and reconnect codes (less time consuming and more efficient)

So all u need to do is get autohotkey(Google for Autohotkey installer),install it , rightclick -> create new ahk script, copy paste the above codes, then schedule them using windows scheduler (u can run the .ahk file directly or make exe).(Disconnect at 1.59/7.59 am, Reconnect at 2.01/8.01 am)

Also note that disconnecting and reconnecting changes ur ip address. So the code is good for rapidshare.

For use with other modems replace the underlined commands with equivalent commands for the particular modem. you can find them by manually tenetting to 192.168.1.1 and going through various commands in your modem (type 'help' or '?')(especially look for ppp connect/disconnect commands) like I did or google for it.
Hope this helps someone.

Thank you. Repo given.

Thanks Just4Kix,
Just want to add some more info here.

The above automatic disconnect/reconnect is obviously for always on modem using PPPoE.From your post titled 'Solution for multiple machines connecting to same BB connection' since the values of vci/vpi are different for bsnl/mtnl, one needs to modify the command given to modem as well.
syntax of following command :
ppp config 0.0.35 up

follows

ppp config port.vpi.vci [up/down]
(note that the command/syntax depends upon the modem u have.)
the port is generally 0.(at least in my case).vpi, vci depends on ISP. you can find urs in ur modem configuration page at 192.168.1.1 (default) -> advanced setup -> WAN -> ATM PVC configuration (or similar).

Does the above reboot code for UTStarcom WA3002G4 actually work ? I dont have the modem but if it works i will buy it. Or else i will buy a bsnl type 1 modem which supports Imran's Broadband utility. Is Dlink dsl 502T still in market now ? By the way do all Bsnl type 1 modems work with Imran's Broadband utility ?

Everything in this guide has been tested on UT-300R2U (version 1, version 2.2) and WA3002G4.

Imran's utility will also work.

Hi, I use GLB-502T modem

As said by Admin, I tired to Run>>telnet>>o 192.168.1.1>>Busybox on localhost login:>>admin>>password:>>I entered my password

Now as per Admin article I should get "#" symbol where I should type "reboot". But I get message "Login incorrect".

But when I give those userid and password in the browser when its url is 192.168.1.1, I am able to go into modem's web page (configuration page)

Please see attachment for Telnet screen details. Can any one help me?

Thankyou,
Sundeep

This thread just popped up in the search results, hence am commenting on it.

Are u sure about the password being entered in the command prompt. Try manually telnetting the router, enter the username/password combination which u use to access the web interface. It should work. Else try resetting the modem. Make sure to backup connection details before resetting.
